The ongoing saga of Michael Bisping’s retirement fight is still just that: ongoing.

Former UFC middleweight champion Bisping (30-9 MMA, 20-9 UFC) made it clear months ago that he’s going to walk away from the sport after one more fight. Since then the search for the right opponent under the right circumstances has been ongoing, but nothing has materialized.

More recently the 39-year-old has toyed with the idea of forgoing an official retirement fight all together and simply hanging up his gloves. He said that’s what his family wants him to do, but clearly there’s still some desire to fight once time.
